    I started reading listening to "How to talk so little kids will listen" and it has been a GAME CHANGER in our house!
    Book: amzn.to/3V1HtnB
    Lots of things that are counterintuitive like don't say "good job", or "be careful" or talking MORE about what they want even though they can't have it
    Instead of "terrible 2s" I've learned to look at it as "the boundary setting age!" and I LOVE this shift for talking to my toddler!
    These things all sounded crazy to me, but after putting some into practice I honestly couldn't believe how much it changed our struggle and changed my relationship with my toddler!
    I hope this video helps you and I'd love to know anything that has worked with your child!

    I read somewhere "They aren't giving you a hard time, they're having a hard time" and that really resonated with me. My babe is only 8 months old but I'll still say that in my mind when he's feeling fussy or having a hard time settling.

      This is gold. Yes. Reframing it to realize they're struggling, and expressing that to you because they trust you and feel safe to let you know how they feel instead of suppressing it (and blowing up later) is a mindset that has helped me immensely.

    Using First and Then statements has been my biggest life saver. For example, my daughter might be having a tantrum because she wants to go outside but she needs to get dressed/put on shoes. I can say “First get dressed, Then outside” and it snaps her out of the tantrum. We repeat it several times while we get dressed and the. ALWAYS follow through. Once they learn that you will follow through with the sequence of events it is soooo helpful.

    Parents who play pretend with their children don't realize what a wonderful impact they make. My mom always played pretend with me- I remember so vividly, and I'm convinced she's the reason I excel with my creative writing, and anything that really involves creativity and problem-solving. My parents made a lot of mistakes [they were very young when I was born], but I'll always remember her saying "Let's pretend..." This is something I can't wait to share with my daughter, who will be here in April!

    “Their job is to test our boundaries and our job is to enforce them” is what I try to remember. It’s not manipulative or malicious, they’re really just trying to figure out the rules of the road 🤷🏼‍♀️ the biggest blessing for me has been seeing a therapist who primarily works with new moms. I’m able to work on my own emotional regulating and try to model that.

    "Parenting is a lot of unlearning all of these habits you've learned" Now that just hits home. Also the bit about modelling the behaviour you want to see is soooo true! These two together make parenting so much fun but also so challenging.

    This is exactly what I needed! Something I say when I can’t understand my 23 month old is “show me” and he stops being frustrated and walks me to whatever he needs or whatever so that I understood and then I give him the words. That has been helpful for us. I also read the whole brain child and no drama discipline- they are good! I actually learned from my kid at like 18 months that acting like I didn’t understand him rather than acknowledging him and saying no, ended up being worse. They really do just want to be understood!

    I know you’ve talked about Montessori ideas and creating “yes” zones but I worked with a really smart children’s photographer once and she did the same philosophy for getting great photos of the kids. Handing them blocks or trains or other aesthetic “on theme” items to play with in front of the camera instead of just trying to make a toddler sit still and smile which we all know is a recipe for disaster 😂 She got the greatest images that way so it’s something I’m doing anytime I try to take photos of my daughter!

    You're not just a better mom, you're a better communicator. You are utilizing these skills with your children now but they are exactly the way you should be interacting with adults also.
    My husband and I have been fighting a lot since having our baby why? Because he doesn't take the time to see and acknowledge my struggles and listen and see things from my perspective. All we want as humans is to be see and heard and understood.

    I love telling my toddler “wait! What are the clues telling you?” And he’ll be like “oh steam! It’s hot!” and in addition to barefoot shoes I love “do you feel safe?” whenever we’re at the playground and I start getting nervous.
    I loved watching this! Thank you so much for putting it together. I share some of the same favorite parenting books as you. I love the humble way you bring all to light! Thank you! And good luck on your parenting adventures!!!

    Ending statements with okay was something massive I had to unlearn when I worked with little kids. Instead of saying "let's put our shoes on now, okay?" Just say "we need to put our shoes on." By adding the okay, you've made it a question and the option to say "no." That's where the options are great like you said "blue or white shoes."

  • @WhoaLookAtThat321

    Love all these tips!! A trick I use is to always give a heads-up when we are leaving somewhere. e.g., "Hey honey, we are going to leave soon, do you want to stay on the swing or go down the slide again before we go"

    HAHAAHAH When you said Aliyah (sorry forgot the spelling) says "Be careful, oh no I'm not supposed to say that." 😂😂😂
    The part you talk about making her apologise but you shouldn't. I learnt that we can help them say it like "It can be hard to find your apology voice now. I will use it for you."; "I'm sorry, I really wanted that and it came out as a hit." or something along these lines.

    Book recommendation for raising siblings: "Siblings without Rivalry." I heard a summery on this book a while back, and I think it is RIGHT up your alley, Shayla!

    This is good.
    When we talk, we talk so others will listen. Same for the youngest children. Freud coined the term the talking cure, where we cure ourselves of emotional problems by talking about them. What I found is he had it wrong. It's actually the listening cure. We value being listened so much. This was brought out in books like The Lost Art of Listening by Michael P Nichols and surprisingly books about hostage negotiating like Never Split The Difference.

  • @cinthiaham1517
    @cinthiaham1517 Год назад +2

    The words you use to describe your child “a terror” “terrible” “naughty” becomes the way you SEE your child. Words matter, especially if they are being said to the child because then THEY see themselves that way too.
    I know being a parent is frustrating and this is something I’m working on as a former “bad, naughty, stubborn” kid ❤️

  • @Christina-xc7on
    @Christina-xc7on Год назад +2

    The good job/be careful advice I think stems from the same idea. It's just taking something vague and making more specific for the child. "I love how you helped me by carrying the bag" tells the kid what they did right when "good job" does not, and "watch your feet, the ground is rocky" rather than "be careful" tells them why this is a situation that needs their attention

    @catgeel264 Год назад +14

    Watching these video's and hearing you say 'it's a lot of unlearning' makes me SO grateful for my own mom, who did all this. Now with my toddler, it's natural for me to do these things and there's very little unlearning to do. So far things go pretty smoothly and I have tons of extra mindspace to be mindful of certain 'extra' aspects I want to teach him.
    So parents who do struggle with the unlearning, take heart! Your child will benefit greatly from it, AND have it so much easier raising their children when time comes. You are investing not only in yourself, not only in them, but even in the generation after that.

  • @peterpanang
    @peterpanang Год назад +1

    this is a good inbetween of whats out there as 'gentle' parenting or from what others gather to mean - no consequences and consequnecial parenting. which is not the case but I think you made a clear distinctions about how to explain and help the child learn and have agency to a degree wtihout it being chaotic.

    Just a comment on the food possession part:
    I say
    This food is for momma, dad, toddler, and baby can have it when baby has teeth or is sitting up or walking or …
    At least for us my toddler knows that all the food is for everyone (except our dog cause he has a sensitive tummy lol). But it includes the baby so she doesn’t get possessive w/ food with baby bro … but she does often yell at our dog that our food is not for him 😬😅

  • @lolafrogS
    @lolafrogS Год назад +8

    This is such a great video. I work in early childhood development and teach respectful and conscious parenting in South Africa, having the outlook that you do and being curious to learn these approaches and how to relate to yourself and your kiddo is one of the biggest factors in nurturing the lifelong relationship that we have with them. You mentioned RIE and with the amount that you have read I feel like you may know quite a bit about the philosophy already but I always recommend Janet Lansbury's No Bad Kids - I'm not sure if someone has already mentioned it in the comments but its one even I refer back to over and over again.

  • @g.m9074
    @g.m9074 Год назад +1

    My fave "unlearning old parenting habits" advice is asking yourself- is it care or control? When your kiddo wants something and your knee jerk is to say no, stop and ask yourself, am I saying no because it will be harmful or neglectful, etc, or am I saying no to have control. If the answer is control, you're supposed to rethink the request and realize that you might not really need to say no to them after all. It might be something you're hardwired to say no to, like kids picking out their own clothes- are you saying they can't wear what they picked because YOU think it's ugly or mismatched, or is it not appropriate for the weather? If it's just because you think it's ugly- let them wear it anyway.

    @nataliedellaselva3642 Год назад +4

    Hahaha loved everything about this video! As a nanny to a newly 2-year-old, I'm excited to add some of these tips to my arsenal. One thing I do is if she has a tantrum, I try to always help her calm down, rather than repeatedly telling her why we can't do something and drawing out the tantrum. Often she just needs to be soothed with some calm music and her teddy bear, and that helps to reset the mood and minimize lengthy tantrums. She now understands that I can help her to calm down, and that is our routine

  • @rachaelkumarasena678
    @rachaelkumarasena678 Год назад +3

    This was very helpful and makes total sense. A lot I already know but like you said at the end it’s about looking in the mirror and changing those habits. I’m really struggling with my 2 year old as he is testing the boundaries and I’m struggling to regulate my emotions. The whole needing to be calm through his feeling is something I’m working on and this video was beautiful insight and reminder to ensure how important it is to do so. I hope I haven’t damaged my son already by getting upset but motherhood is a process and trying to be better at it each day… these videos of yours really help so thank you 🙏🏼

  • @MunchyLifeTrinidy
    @MunchyLifeTrinidy Год назад +2

    I feel like I’m also where you’re at in trying to learn how to help my own 2 year old. We took the pacifier away recently and nighttime has been a struggle. When she cries or wines I say “do you want me to help you relax? Would you like me to sing to you or hold you” so instead of telling her to stop crying or calm down I’m giving her a distraction to help her to calm down. It’s made such a huge difference. I’m definitely taking some tips from this video

    This is so perfect for us right now. My first is 3. My second is 2. And my third is a couple months old. We are going through sooo many big emotions all at once. We play pretend sometimes but never even realized how it could benifit in so many other times. I wave my hands around pretending to do magic to "help" my child do something they've suddenly "forgotten" how to do. These are wonderful tips! Thank you!

    My friend just sent me this video… it’s my first time watching Shayla’s content and I’m loving her non-curated/non-rehearsed approach to videos, it’s very sincere.
    A couple of other must-read recommendations are Mindset by Carol Dweck and Outside Kids in an Inside World by Steven Rinella.

  • @ashleybeazley
    @ashleybeazley Год назад +3

    I found this whole technique a lot easier before my daughter got closer to 3 and started getting more sassy and “talking back” and having more big feelings and anger.
    Parenting is so hard!
    It’s funny you mention grandma because my MIL always catches herself saying good job and constantly apologizes haha. I told her it’s fine and just like you say explained why I’m trying to say other things. It’s so nice that she buys in to the whole thing though. Especially because she was part time childcare for me before my youngest was born.

  • @breitfart5285
    @breitfart5285 Год назад +1

    I also try not to say “good job” because I don’t like that it’s an evaluation and I don’t want my son to grow up feeling like he needs to perform and impress me. I know that’s not our intent when we say “good job” but it feels like I’m promoting that pattern if I say it. My husband thinks I’m crazy and I’m like “duh, I’m trying break the cycle.” Instead I say “you got it” or “you did it!” My son has loved climbing since he could move around and instead of “good job!” when he climbs to the top of a hill or whatever I say “you’re a little mountain goat!” It’s not cold, it’s just trying to remove the judgment aspect and focus on celebrating them and their growth regardless of how well they did something. Anyway, thanks for the book recommendations! I will def be trying the tactic you used with the cake pops. ☺️

  • @staceyrogers6125
    @staceyrogers6125 Год назад

    I would say it's good to let them know that something is just for them. My 3 year old has some toys with small parts and we don't want his brother to have it because he puts everything in his mouth. So my oldest has a feeling of ownership and also protection over his brother to keep him safe from choking. It also helps my oldest to understand that he shouldn't take his brother's toys because he has some special toys for himself. My oldest can play by himself with "his" toys in his room and he likes to have that time. He is motivated to keep his toys put away in his room for his brother's safety. Loved your video!

  • @alexasandidge4956
    @alexasandidge4956 Год назад +2

    I will say I like this way of parenting but it is definitely re-learning since I was not brought up this way at all. Which makes it take a lot of effort. Sometimes it can be quite exhausting. But I try my best to stick with it.

  • @kathryngould225
    @kathryngould225 Год назад +13

    Yes to all of this! Another thing that has helped me is asking myself if what she wants is an unnecessary boundary. For instance, she wants to wear her princess gloves to bed, it's not going to hurt or bother anyone, so why not. Or if she wants to climb higher on the playset than I'm comfortable with, as long as she is obviously in a willing mood to cooperate when I ask her to come back down or take my advice about footing, I can work with that. A lot of times the things we see as potentially scary or just plain silly, are our own biases. So asking if it's an unnecessary boundary helps me check myself and therefore allows her more freedom to experience the world her way! And it helps me better communicate to her why it may be an absolute necessary boundary, if I determine that it really is one.

      @lindsaywait8763 Год назад

      I do this too! If it's not going to hurt anybody (too seriously) then my default is yes. Keeping the boundaries to a minimum makes it much easier for me to be consistent and it's easier for the kids to remember too. Also the kids get to try crazy things which is their job as little scientists.

  • @gelissam321
    @gelissam321 Год назад +1

    As a mum of 2 I can relate to everything here!
    When it comes to your stuff vs. My stuff, we try to say well isn't it nice that baby is interested in looking at your toys & let's take turns. But there a lot of stuff which isn't age appropriate so we have stuff in her room which is hers but she's never been possessive, she's just always said, no you can't play with this because it has small parts or it's not safe for you because your little. Like you've mentioned before going into the "why can't I " etc
    Keep up the great work Shayla ! X

    Raising Good Humans is another good book. So make of it is about unpacking your own childhood experiences and dealing with your shit so you can not pass on your own issues yo your kid. I’ve loved it.

    This is such good advice! I feel like the tip about pretending is going to go a long way with my son.
    The one thing I would note about telling kids they are smart vs they worked hard - it doesn't apply to toddlers so much, but with older kids it's important to acknowledge when someone has a higher level of natural talent at something, because kids can feel bad if they're not achieving as much as another child who is naturally better at math or something, when it's just luck that some kids understand math quicker than others. The important thing there is to teach kids that everyone has different strengths and weaknesses, and that being naturally good at something doesn't make you better than others, which can often be the real issue - kids who are naturally smart, or good at sports, can be treated as better than others. Essentially, you treat natural talent as a fact rather than a moral judgement, which means kids can know they have a bit of an advantage in a certain area without thinking kids who don't have that are lesser, and it also avoids broader labels like 'smart kid' when they are actually just quicker at learning to read or something. It also means that you can teach kids to enjoy and succeed at something on their own terms, rather than comparing themselves to others who have an advantage in a certain area - there are so many opportunities to enjoy things. For example, if you enjoy reading you can literally read books at any level and still enjoy reading. But the point about intrinsic motivation remains - just something else to think about when we talk about abilities!

    I read a parenting book that compared bringing a new baby to meet their older sibling to bringing a new spouse to meet your current spouse. Wow! That gives a perspective on how difficult it might be for kids to "share" mom or dad's love with a new baby.

    • @sleepingwhale

      Oh that's so sad.. I wonder if that is only true for younger siblings who don't understand or also for older children?

    • @dogdonut3
      @dogdonut3 Год назад +2

      @@sleepingwhale I would suspect it's hard for all ages. But also that depends on the individual personality of the children.

    Thanks for those tipps, i found the books from Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson verry helpful.
    They explain more tipps that worked for our childeren, kind of like the ones that you describe from the "How to talk so that childeren listen" but i think it goes deeper. And it has some funny comics ;)
    Thanks i verry like your content and start listening to your potcast

    Facts! Parenting is a lot of unlearning and self reflection. It can be a lot. But one day at a time. And a whole lot of grace.
    This is also so funny on timing. I was just listening to Jennifer Kolari on connected parenting, which her technique seems pretty similar to the main book you discussed.

    When my daughter started to freak out today because we were done with her show, I hugged her close and said "You are a big girl when mommy says 'We are done" you need to say 'yes mommy, what are we doing next'." Then I said, "next I'm going to tickle you!" And we dissolved into a tickling giggling fit. And I was in such a good mood after I announced that we were going to go out. Which caused absolute delight in my daughter. I've never handled that situation like that before, but I think I will do it again in the future. My daughter loves action, going and doing, so focusing on what we are doing next works well and tickles are a great bonus.

    Thanks for the book recommendations! I also read Hunt, Gather, Parent, and loved it. Another top favorite for me that I think you might enjoy is called Joyful Toddlers and Preschoolers (by Faith Collins). I'm reading it right now, and it's blowing my mind. One of the things she teaches is...if your child says "no" (after you tell them to do something), you should interpret it as "I don't feel as connected to you right now as I want to." Then she gives super practical strategies for how to create a moment of connection with them...which usually results in the child being more agreeable. SO helpful!
